When I saw this photo on Audrie's Pinterest board for today's Inspiration Challenge
it reminded me I wanted to also do this week's TLC challenge - 3D pumpkin placecards! (you can find the tutorial here )
I made my pumpkins 2" so I used 6 pieces of DP for each pumpkin, measuring 1/2" x 6" each. I also used ScorTape to adhere the strip ends rather than a glue gun. (too messy and hot!)
I adhered my pumpkins to die cut leaves that were adhered to grunge board to make them sturdy. I used Kraft Core paper for the leaves and sanded them so some of the kraft showed through.
I made the stem of my pumpkins out of short pieces of real cinnamon sticks and knotted three pieces of green twine around the stems. The words are Big Chat Stickers that I layered to brown card and adhered to the stems with my hot glue gun.
These would be great at place settings on Thanksgiving or as a lovely small gift to give someone for the fall season.

Your pumpkins are so adorable, Julia, and I bet they smell good with those cinnamon stick stems.
